Introduction 4: The fall on the shell of the turtle
If you are called a dirt dog by someone who hates you, you don't have to get angry and fight back, because no matter how realistic and fanciful that person is about it, it can't change the fact that you are human. On the other hand, if you are a well-meaning person, you can persuade him to save a little effort, at least don't do things that are just trying to scold the street like a dirt dog. When you quarrel with someone who looks like a dog, it only proves that you are a dog.
The grasslands in the north are prone to snow even in autumn, and cold currents from the farther north cascade down from north to south like waterfalls.
Night on the steppe.
Now the sky is snowing, not the kind of blizzard that flies in the biting cold wind, but the fine snow that falls with the poetic warmth of the Central Plains.
It's not in the winter season, but it snows. It is rumored that snow in autumn means that the heavens will fall from the mother, which is a saying that has been passed down throughout the grassland. Niangniang means the queen in the mouth of the Central Plains.
This is located in the northern grassland, how can there be a mother? The Central Plains region has been divided and fought for more than a hundred years, and the queen there is not right! The emperors are like a marquee in rapid rotation, how can this queen be a good errand? The queen after the destruction of the country ended up even more sad.
The dance of the powder snow landed lightly on top of an ornate tent, and the falling posture was not a vicious impact, but looked more like a joyful embrace.
In an ornate tent, a woman dressed as Han Chinese lies flat on a soft animal skin, surrounded by serving servants, who give birth, and the woman holding the animal skin in both hands is giving birth under the guidance of the midwife. She didn't scream too much, because she knew that if she screamed too loudly and in pain, Da Danyu outside the tent would probably rush in and kill all the servants afterwards. She knew Da Shan Yu's temper, so she couldn't help but hum softly even if she was in pain.
How could there be a woman from the Central Plains in a tent on the grassland? Could it be the princess who came from the Central Plains before the dynasty? Even if you are not a princess, it must be very noble to have so many servants to serve.
Not far from the ornate tent, an old woman dressed in sacrificial attire was flipping back and forth on the bonfire with her eyes slightly closed, holding a bronze sword in her hand, and carrying a turtle shell the size of a lotus leaf. Her mouth was not idle, and she muttered something that she probably couldn't even understand.
Suddenly, the turtle shells that were roasted on the bonfire made three crackling sounds in a row, and the bursting gas swayed the bonfire from side to side.
The sacrificial woman stopped and brought the shell of the bronze sword in front of her, and the three cracks just now caused several intricate cracks to spread on the otherwise smooth turtle shell.
"Shen Luoluo." These are the words that the sacrificial woman slowly poured out after observing them for a long time. The smooth turtle shell was roasted by the bonfire and the texture was cracked, and the texture actually appeared with three words: "Shen Luoluo". Although the texture is not fair, these crooked three words can still be identified by the texture. What would this mean? Could this be the name of a Central Plains person?
In front of the north of the campfire was a mahogany chair of exquisite workmanship, and on top of the chair sat a man with a frosty face, who waved his hand to the soldiers beside him to bring the turtle shell after hearing the sacrificial woman mutter these three words for a long time.
"What does this mean? I asked you to divinate the result of this expedition to quell the rebellion, but you gave me a name, is it possible that my first child in Da Shan Yu wants to give a name to the Han people in the Central Plains, and it is also a name with a feminine charm in the Central Plains. Da Shan Yu held the bronze sword in his hand and looked at the turtle shell and said sharply, "Hurry up and re-divinate me, hurry up and re-divination, what I need on the vast prairie is a man who can go into battle shirtless to kill the enemy, not a girl who needs to commit herself to sewing and mending in the tent." He slammed the still hot shell to the ground, squeaking the frosty ground.
Da Shan Yu's words clearly stated one of his wishes: he hoped that he could have a son.
In fact, he is in a very bad mood now, and the situation is not optimistic. The two tribes attached to him on the same grassland took advantage of his southward invasion of the Central Plains to rebel and occupy the Hetao area, which was the most abundant water and grass on the grassland, and was his dragon court and his rear base. And his situation at the moment can be said to be very embarrassing, the success of the rebellion of the two tribes may provoke the rebellion of more tribes, if it really comes to that point, for him, Shan Yu on the grassland, I am afraid that it can be said that he exists in name only, so he very much hopes that his first child will be a son.
The woman dressed in sacrificial costume was so frightened by Da Danyu's words that she shrunk into a ball, although she was extremely frightened, she still quickly changed the turtle shell and slowly flipped it over the bonfire with a bronze long sword. This time the shell she had replaced was much larger than the one she had just used, the texture of the surface was clear and smooth, and to her bewilderment, she felt that this shell was much heavier than all the shells she had handled before, as if there was something hidden in this shell.
"Bang bang." There were three loud cracks, but after this crackling, the woman in the sacrificial costume did not take back the bronze sword, but continued to flip and bake the turtle shell, which was originally black and shiny.
"Crimson. This turtle shell will be burned to crimson, congratulations to Da Dan on this turtle shell baked red, it is a sign of good luck, good luck and great wealth! The lady in sacrificial costume held a bronze sword and said excitedly.
"All the best? Ben Danyu's Hetao territory has just been occupied and made homeless, and Ben Danyu's child has not been born smoothly for half a day, where is everything you said? Bring me the tortoise shell, and I want to see what kind of words you have made for me this time when you ask the gods, and if it is a lie, I will burn your head red. "Da Shan Yu said these are real words, what will be good there, and now at such a point, I am afraid that everything will be ruined.
Da Danyu, who was sitting on the mahogany chair, did not look at the crimson tortoise shell at this moment, although his mouth was talking, in fact, his eyes were already fixed on the gorgeous tent.
"It's been such a long time and it hasn't been produced, it seems that the body of this woman in the Central Plains really can't be compared with the woman on the grassland! Wouldn't it be dangerous to go on like this? Da Shan Yu, who was sitting on the mahogany chair, was secretly anxious in his heart, although he wanted a son very much, but the safety of the woman who was about to give birth was ranked first at the moment.
A loud baby cry came from inside the tent, and the sound was so strong and powerful that it was like lightning flashing across the sky on a rainy night, instantly pushing away all the senses and focusing all the attention on one point. This loud baby cry is probably only as loud as a boy can have.
"Born, born." Da Dan, who was still covered with frost just now, is like a flower blooming on his face at this moment, and a pear flower pressing a begonia. Raw! It seems that the divination of this red turtle shell is somewhat reliable.
At this time, a neat and orderly sound of horses' hooves gradually hit in the distance, and the melodious bells under the horse's neck were mixed with the sound of horses' hooves, like an accompaniment in the score, how to listen to how to make people feel very comfortable.
This is the Tanma sent to the Hetao area to investigate before, although the territory there has been occupied by the rebels, but Shan Yuxiang sent troops to Tanma to investigate the situation, there is his base, only the counterinsurgency to recapture him will be worthy of the name, will make many other tribes on the grassland submit.
"The two rebels in the Loop, asking for your forgiveness for their reckless crimes, is a letter of repentance they have written to you." The rider on the horse dismounted, got down on one knee and lifted a roll of sheepskin above his head with both hands.
"What do you say? Do the rebels who took advantage of the fire now want to surrender to me and ask for forgiveness? Da Shan Yu couldn't believe his ears, and he hurriedly got up and galloped over, reaching out and grabbing the parchment scroll presented by the horseman.
"Returning to Da Shan Yu, it seems that the rebels in the Hetao area have fought each other for two days and two nights because of the conflict over the distribution of spoils and profits, and now the only remaining remnants are no longer able to fight against Da Shan Yu, so after seeing me, they took the initiative to show weakness and ask for forgiveness for their crimes. The tributaries of the rivers I passed through along the way had been dyed blood-red, and it seemed that the infighting they were talking about could not be false. The horse rider said a lot of things in one breath that made Da Danyu very happy.
"The birth of this child is truly a blessing! It brought such good news all at once. The woman dressed in sacrificial costumes hurriedly presented the tortoise shell, which had been burned red, with a bronze sword. It was actually a very wise thing for her to do so, the rebels had surrendered, but how could the surrender of the rebels have anything to do with the birth of the child! So regardless of whether this matter has anything to do with the birth of this child, even if it is nonsense now, it has to be involved in some relationship, because only in this way will her sacrifice have the value of existence.
It's just that one thing she can't understand is the texture that appears again on the turtle shell, and the bursting texture is composed of three words, one is a name with a girl's breath in Da Shan Yu's mouth: Shen Luoluo. If the first occurrence of these three words is an exception, then how should the second occurrence be explained?
Divination is to explore the meaning of heaven, and now these three words appear twice, do these three words really represent the meaning of heaven?
The maid who walked out of the tent looked panicked, and when she walked in front of Da Shan Yu, she collapsed on the ground in a panic, "Back to Da Shan Yu, Mrs. gave birth to a princess." ”
This is not good news, and it seems that the maid is afraid to collapse on the ground because the eldest single who has been looking forward to her son is now looking forward to it.
The silent snow still danced, but its dancing stopped the passage of time, and everyone seemed to be silent and still.
"You go and find a girl from among the Han people who went south to Luoyang to rob this time, and give her the name Shen Luoluo, so that she can grow up with my daughter! After all, this providence cannot be violated. Doing so should be able to follow the will of God! Da Shan Yu said slowly to a man dressed as a Central Plains Han costume beside him.
"Since Da Dan is arranged like this, then Da Dan Yu forgive me for taking the liberty of asking you to agree, I don't know if I should say it?" Beside Da Shan Yu, a man dressed in Central Plains stood up and saluted and said slowly. Who is he? A person from the Central Plains can actually mix in the side of the Xiongnu Shan Yu, and this person is definitely very promising.
"When did Mr. Chen become so polite? Never in the past have you been so polite to me. ”
"I have just arrived in this grassland, how can this request for help be compared with the others? As soon as this child was born, it brought such good news, and I implore Da Shan Yu to let me teach this child in the future. ”
"It would be good if Mr. Chen had this intention, just take the matter of going south to plunder the Central Plains, Mr. Chen tried hard to dissuade me before, saying that it is a very risky thing for me to gather all the troops to go south this time, and the emptiness in the rear may change, but the rebellion that occurred later also just confirmed Mr. Chen's words, it seems that Mr. Chen will be more outspoken in the future!"
"Since this Mr. Chen intends to take in apprentices, I am not one of them, and I will help Mr. Chen teach the princess how to do it together?" Another Central Plains man next to the fire said with a smile that his appearance was very special, so what he said was very special.
Who could this person be?
No one can tell why the three words Shen Luo appear repeatedly on the turtle shell, is it possible that extraordinary people will even have their names ready to God?
Providence can't do it, it's like Da Dan didn't dare to disobey the result of taboo divination, and he finally had to find someone to use these three words as his name to grow up with his daughter.
The tortoise shell, which had been burned red, suddenly burst into two halves, and a small emerald green bead burst out, and the bead cut an arc in the air, and landed in a palace lamp next to it.
"Could this little emerald green bead be a godsend, and what should we do with it?"
"If it falls into the palace lamp, use it to make a palace lamp! Putting such a small bead in the center of the palace lamp should look beautiful! ”
"Everything in this world has a cycle of cause and effect, and this palace lamp will stay by the princess's side for a long time! When the lights of this palace are bright, it is also when our princess is bright. This sentence was spoken by the priest, and she spoke in a very stiff and strange way, as if she had a bone stuck in her throat. Her appearance is also very strange, because when she said this, she said it to the sky after she had just raised her head, and it was a felony to speak with her head held high in front of Da Shan Yu, did she not want to live if she did this. Her eyes were blurred, her face was red, and her hands were shaking, making everyone who saw her feel that she was probably in the possession of an evil spirit.
No one would care about the words just said, but there was one person who kept this sentence in his heart, and the person who was called Mr. Chen would tell the princess when she grew up to be sensible, "When the palace lights are bright, you will also be bright, because your true destiny is here." ”
The sacrificial woman never acknowledged what she had just said, and whenever someone asked about it, she would always say in all seriousness that she had seen something vague and confused. What's going on here?
The three characters that appear on the turtle shell are obviously the name of a person, although this name was given to someone else, but one day there will be a person standing in front of another person and telling that person that his name should be called "Shen Luoluo".
Maybe she will also ask like this, "My name is Shen Luoluo, so what is your name?" ”
